CHRISTMAS

THE BIRTH DE JESUS CHRIST

THE PROPHETIC BIRTH THAT CHANGED THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD AND CAN CHANGE ITS LIFE

 

Merry Christmas because our God has sent to Its Son who has become man and has come from His eternal Kingdom to our finite world to save us of this world and the death, so that we have access, by the faith in Its work, to the Kingdom of God by the eternity, if we received to Jesus Christ in our heart, the boy who fulfilled the prophecy: … Because a boy is been born to us, son is given to us, and the principality on his shoulder, and he will be called his Admirable name, Adviser, Strong God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace… Isaiah 9:6. Few texts in the Bible are so clear and explicit as this one on the prophetic birth and the nature of the Mesías. Yahshua, Jesus Christ the Son of God, Yahweh.

In this study on Christmas, on the birth of Jesus Christ and its repercussion in the humanity, we will see several sections. First we will see Texts on the birth of Jesus, followed of the history of Christmas and the traditions. Soon we will happen to a section dedicated to the prophecies that Jesus in His birth fulfilled, and finally a comparative table where of a single look we can see the following divided fundamental information in three columns: Biblical history and its parallelism with the history of the life of Jesus; the life of Jesus de Nazaret and his parallelism with the history of the man, “Christmas de Jesus Christ�, and the repercussion of the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus in the history of the man. Jesus Christ has been conceived in our soul by the Spirit Santo, to be born, so that we are born again. All the history of Jesus Christ has an approach towards the man,�… then by us was written… 1Corintios 9:10, and by us were born, died and revived Jesus Christ ". It is Christmas in his soul, Maria.

 

BIBLICAL TEXTS OF THE BIRTH DE JESUS CHRIST

MIQUEAS 5

^2Pero you, Bethlehem Efrata, small to be between the families of Judá, you will leave the one to me that will be Sir in Israel; and their exits are from the beginning, from the days of the eternity.

MATEO: CHAPTER 1

Birth of CALLED JESUS the Christ

^18El birth of Jesus Christ was thus: Being newlywed Maria her mother with Jose, before they joined themselves, was that Santo had conceived of the Spirit.

The virgin Maria symbolizes all soul in which Christ is born for being generated from the Spirit. She, anyone of us, do not consider themselves worthy. She does not have east engendramiento origin of Jose, who represents our meat, because Christ is born in us by the faith and not by our works of the meat, our moral, or our efforts of justice.

^19José its husband, like was right, and it did not want to infamar it, wanted to leave it secretly.

Jose, our meat, normally does not use the mind for the things of God, but to rationalize and to explain scientifically as the things work. For that reason he wanted to leave Maria secretly, since, as we would say today: In what head the mind of Christ fits? It is necessary to be born to assimilate again that one must refuse to itself.

^20Y thinking it about this, is an angel of the Gentleman appeared to him here in dreams and he said to him: Jose, son of David, nonsubjects to receive to Maria your woman, because what in her he is generated, of the Spirit Santo he is. ^ 21Y will give to light a son, and you will call its JESUS name, because it will save his town of his sins.

Nonsubjects to receive to Christ in your soul, because it is EMANUEL, God with us. Thus it is prophesied that the Christ would be born from the Virgin. Isaiah 7:14.

^22Todo this occurred so that what has been said by the Gentleman by means of the prophet was fulfilled, when it said: ²³ I have here, a virgin will conceive and give to light a son, and you will call her Emanuel name, that translated is: God with us. ^24Y waking up Jose of the dream, did as the angel of the Gentleman had commanded to him, and received his wife. ^ 25Pero did not know it until it gave to light its first-born son; and it put to him by JESUS name.

First flame the attention the name of the son of Jose and Maria, the angel indicates Emanuel that is God with us, and when being born Yeshua or Yahshua called to him, that is Salvation of God, and the salvation for who is: for us, that is to say who the name of Jesus was in fact: God our Salvador, this is what was east boy who came to the world. Yah-Shua, like Yah-Weh. There are other roots of the name of God in Tetragramatón YHWH that also are part of Their name.

Also we see that the Gentleman warns to us of His plans towards us through the dreams. But Jose did not know Maria; this is: it did not have married relation until Jesus was born; that the man does not know the Gentleman until the seed of the Gospel does not bear the fruit in our soul and changes our mind, and it makes us be born from the Spirit, and this fruit is Jesus Christ.

 

MATEO: CHAPTER 2

The visit of the magicians

^1Cuando Jesus was born in Bethlehem de Judea in days of king Herodes, 

The Mesías comes to the world in the heat of reigned of Satan on the men. Equally it happens when it comes nowadays to any person.

magicians came from the east to Jerusalem, ^2diciendo: Where he is the king of the Jews, who has been born? Because its star we have seen in the east, and we come to adore to him.

Those that has wisdom spirit and also those whom they have powers of airs with them, come to adore to that he is King of the spirits. Also it represents that the wise people of the world will recognize in us the wisdom of God, that is superior to the human one.

^3Oyendo this, king Herodes was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.

The devil is disturbed when it already sees that the time in a soul finishes to him because Christ has been born in her. And all Jerusalem with him, symbolizes to all the men of religion in the world who know that with his works they cannot be justified before God, that has arrived the day of the Gentleman.

^4Y summoned all the main priests, you write and them of the town, asked to them where there was to be born the Christ. ^ 5Ellos said to him: In Bethlehem de Judea; because thus it is written by the prophet:

The birth of the Mesías is prophesied in the Bible and they knew it to the Jews they know and it. It is heart hardness not to accept to him, although already there are many Messianic Jews that have accepted to the Mesías that was to come, to called Yahshua the Christ.

^6Y you, Bethlehem, of the Earth of Judá, are not smallest between the princes of Judá; Because you a guide will leave, who will feed Israel town. ^7Entonces Herodes, calling privily to the magicians, diligently investigated of them the time of the appearance of the star; ^ 8y sending them to Bethlehem, said: You go there and you find out with diligence about the boy; and when you find to him, hacédmelo to know, so that I also go and she adores to him. ^ 9Ellos, having heard the king, went away; and there am the star here that had seen in the east went in front of them, until arriving, envelope paused where he was the boy. ^ 10Y when seeing the star, rejoiced with very great joy. ^ 11Y when entering the house, saw the boy with their mother Maria, and postrando itself they adored, it; and abriendo its treasures, they offered presents to him: gold, incense and mirra.

The magicians, also called wise, are those of the world that are looking for the truth of God, and that with its knowledge, sometimes entering occultism and other abominations, realize of which the one that is in front of all the creation is the God of the spirits. For that reason these men come to adore, to honor and to glorify to God in Their Son Jesus, errand for the salvation of the world. They offer all the most appraised and significant one to him for a king: gold representing its spiritual wealth, their experiences of its lives, incense: its orations to know God, and mirra: the bitterness of its lives without God. A little those that our Gentleman would experience, the gold who is the wealth of a King, in this case the King of kings, incense his ministry of the Priesthood of the intercession by love to the men, and the bitterness of mirra in those souls whom to him kindness and spiritual love detest for being full of, the souls that lose and the suffering of Their passion,… gave him to drink wine mixed with mirra. Marks 15:23.

^12Pero being warned by revelation in dreams that did not return to Herodes, returned to their earth by another way.

Slaughter of the children

^13Después that divided they, there am an angel of the Gentleman it appeared in dreams to Jose and it said here: Levántate and takes to the boy and its mother, and flees to Egypt, and remains there until I say to you; because it will occur that Herodes will look for the boy to kill it. ^14Y he, waking up, at night took to the boy and its mother, and it went to Egypt,

There am Jose here, a soul that already he has to Christ within himself, because he has accepted to him in its heart; that it takes to the boy and its mother, that is who takes with himself in Maria, her soul, and to the boy, who is Christ. It is indicated to him by the Gentleman who goes to Egypt, in other words, that is going to continue living in the world, like one more, so that it trusts that the Gentleman will be giving wisdom, signals and education to him, for its life accompanied by God and being light for the others, bringing to them which It is the Light of the world.

That we do not separate from the others that not yet create, since we do if it we detest, them, and Christ indeed wants that we do not stop being in contact with the enemy with which they are even dead to the Spirit. Because there am here the devil looks for forms so that we detest to which does not have faith. Also it tries to influence that now they see God so that the elite and the perfect ones are considered. Nothing that to see with the behavior of Christ who mixes itself with the sinful ones to save them, without sinning, and giving the example to follow.

^15y was there until the death of Herodes; so that one was fulfilled what the Gentleman by means of the prophet said, when said: Of Egypt I called Son. ^16Herodes then, when it was deceived by the magicians, got angry much, and commanded to kill all the smaller children of two years than it had in Bethlehem and all environs, according to the time that had inquired of the magicians. ^{ 17Entonces} was fulfilled what it was said by Jeremías prophet, when said: ¹⁸ Voice was heard in Branch, Great lamentation, I cry and moaned; Raquel that cries to its children, and did not want to be consoled, because they perished. ^19Pero after dead Herodes, there am an angel of the Gentleman appeared in dreams to Jose in Egypt, ^20diciendo here: Levántate, takes to the boy and its mother, and vetoes to land of Israel, because those have died that tried the death of the boy.  

When king Herodes has died, who represents Satan rather or, when the devil stops touching to a soul that finishes receiving Jesus, as it tempted Christ, then receives the instruction to go to Israel, that is to say to be part of the Spiritual Town of God, the Church: Those that have received Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Mesías. Also we will see Jerusalem like city where it is preached or to the Mesías by the Messianic Jews, because the Jewish ones or begin to recognize Yahshua like the promised Mesías, according to the prophecy of Romans 11.

^21Entonces he rose, and took to the boy and its mother, and came to land of Israel. ^ 22Pero oyendo that Arquelao reigned in Judea instead of Herodes its father, had fear to go there; but warned by revelation in dreams, one went to the region of Galilea, ^23y came and lived in the city that is called Nazaret, so that it was fulfilled what it was said by the prophets, that there would be to be called Nazarene.

 

LUCAS: CHAPTER 2

^8Había shepherds in the same region, who at night guarded and kept the watches on their flock.

Also today we can interpret it of the following way: There were in the region guides of the town of God who waited the good news of the Mesías, to bless those people who learned with them the things of God. Today those same shepherds wait for also the coming of Christ in the hearts of those to which they preach.

^9Y I have here, an angel of the Gentleman appeared to them, and the glory of surrounded them to the Gentleman by brilliance; and they had great fear.^{ 10Pero the} angel said to them: You do not fear; because there am here I give you new of great joy, that will be for all the town:^ 11que has been born to you today, in the city of David, a Salvador, who is CHRIST the Gentleman.^ 12Esto will serve to you as signal: You will find the boy surrounded in diapers, laid down in a manger.^ 13Y suddenly appeared with the angel a multitude of the celestial followers, that praised God, and said: ¹⁴ Gloria to God in the heights, and the Earth peace, good will towards the men!

Day of great joy in the Sky and the Earth. This is what it is due to celebrate in Christmas, although does not agree with the real date; this it is the message that we must take to our fellow so that God touches its hearts and for the Gloria de God.

^15Sucedió that when Los Angeles went of them to the sky, the shepherds said to an a others: We happen, then, until Bethlehem, and see this that has happened, and that the Gentleman has declared to us.^{ they 16Vinieron}, then, hastily, and found to Maria and Jose, and to the boy laid down in the manger.^ 17Y when seeing it, presented what it had been said to them about the boy.^ 18Y all that heard, were marvelled than the shepherds they said to them.

All that hears the preaching message astonish. 

^19Pero Maria kept all these things, meditating them in its heart. ^20Y returned the shepherds glorifying and praising to God by all the things that had heard and seen, as it had been said to them.

Maria and any soul, when knowing Christ and on Christ, meditates overwhelmed on whom has been born in its heart.

 

 

HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS

Although the birth of the Mesías is celebrated Jesus Christ the 25 of December, this is not the date historical, but traditional, which was imposed by the Pope Julio I in year 350 d.C with the pretext of which the Romans accepted with greater facility the new faith, mixing it with the celebrations of the paganism that celebrated celebration to Saturn in the winter solstice. In the Orthodox Church the Epiphany was celebrated the 6 of January, which shared many of the churches of east in the first centuries. Still the visit of the magical kings is celebrated as.

Jesus Christ was probably born in the celebration of the harvest, call of the Trompetas or the Tabernacles, that included Trompetas, Purification “Yom Kippur� and the Tabernacles, when all the Jews are called to Jerusalem by third time in the year, as well as in Passover and Pentecostés. The year considered by the majority of experts in the dating of so special event for the humanity they indicate a margin several years before Christ, between 6 and the 4 year a.C that is also the year of the death of Herodes, historically dated by Josefo in this year.

In order to arrive at the date of the celebration of the Trompetas or Tabernacles like birth of Christ, we have in the Bible a series of data that are the following:

In the first place we must ourselves overcome to the history of a priest, relative of Jesus: priest Zacarías, the husband of Elisabet, the parents of Juan the Baptist, to whom many call the cousin of Jesus. Then, Zacarías was one of the 24 priests who ministraban in the temple during the religious year, remembers this us to the 24 old ones of Apocalypse. This was established by king David, 1Crónicas 24:10. Although after the destruction of the temple, I exile in Babylon and other events, all the order was without effect, in the reconstruction of the temple of Herodes, with all their splendor, the sacerdotal order of the 24 classes was restored. This data also has been in Qumrán in Rolls of the Dead Sea.

The Jewish religious year begins in Aviv, also Nisan call (Easter or Passover), and is in force by the lunar calendar. Day 1 of Aviv or Nisan begins. There were 24 priests ministrando, two weeks to the year each, every six months, which gives 48 weeks us. To these weeks we have to add the 3 weeks of the three great celebrations that do not count for the turn of the priests and in that all the priests ministraban together. This gives a year us of 360 days, or 51.4 weeks. Zacarías was of the class of You make haste, as it indicates Lucas 1:5 to us. Its turn was the eighth, according to we read in 1Crónicas 24:10. In his first turn, in the order of the religious year of Israel, it would agree with the week of Pentecostés. The priests remained two weeks, and soon they returned to its houses. But in the three great celebrations, all came to help. Being it with the other priests was called on to him in luck to offer the incense and… all the multitude of the town was outside praying at the time of the incense… Lucas 1:9. The multitude is when there is an important celebration. In the other turn of You make haste would not be multitude hoping outside because she was not one of the three great celebrations. But the key envelope in what turn would be will give us the shepherds in reference to the birth of the Mesías, because it would later be born six months that Juan, which we will see more ahead.

Zacarías would return to its house after its service in the temple and Elisabet would conceive to Juan the Baptist. This would be in Siván, in the middle of June, which later has been nine months to us to its birth in Passover. Juan brought the spirit and the power of Elías, as Gabriel said to him to the angel to his father, Zacarías priest, to prepare the way of the Son of God. Jesus, as we know, is six months smaller than Juan in the meat, as he shows the Gospel to us when Maria visited Elisabet that was pregnant of 6 months, Lucas 1:26 and Maria had recently been conceived by the Spirit Santo. That was possibly in the month of Kislev, the 24 of the seventh month of the Jewish religious calendar, and the Bible says that it is the date in which the foundation of the temple is put. Jesus is the angular Stone that the edificadores rejected. This is the date of the celebration of Hanukkah, when the dedication of the temple in the middle of December is celebrated, is also when the recapture of the temple by the Macabeos is celebrated, and that in our present calendar is the month of Christmas. Nine months later we are in Tabernacles, at the end of September or principles of October, when the Mesías would be born.

Jose, that year, to be Maria in tape and advanced state could have gone to the celebration of the Tabernacles (called the celebration of the Jews) to which would not go every year like good Jew. Nevertheless, the event that forces to them to even go with pregnant Maria, is indeed the empadronamiento order. Chance? it does not exist. Everything was part of the plan of God towards Its Son and the fulfillment of the prophecies exceeds He. … It would be born in Bethlehem… although they would not live there, its parents would have to go.

Returning for a moment to Zacarías, and to be sure that the turn of Zacarías priest was the first and not second, we needed another data in the Bible that us of one tries solid. We found this it in the history of the shepherds who go to Bethlehem after hearing the song of praise of the celestial followers. Lucas 2:15. In Israel in the days of Jesus the climate in winter is very cold, like in the rest of the North hemisphere. The shepherds would keep the flocks in folds with walls from stone and roofs by the cold, would not keep the watches at night. At the end of the summer yes he is normal that the shepherds are sleeping to the flat one with their flocks, doing turns. It is indeed after the celebration of the Tabernacles that the flocks and the cattle returns to put itself in the stables.

The shepherds are symbol of the caretakers of the town of God. These at night kept the watches on their flock, that are symbol of the souls. Indeed to be working in the spiritual work of the Gentleman, shepherds, like those, receive messages of the Gentleman to feed the town; if there were sleepy states not they had visited them Los Angeles from God. … You do not fear because the Christ has been born you… Lucas 2:10. This he is the good shepherd of the ewes, Who keeps to shepherds and ewes until His coming in His eternal Kingdom. And indeed they found to the boy surrounded in diapers and laid down in a manger, being fulfilled the words of the angel.

Maria would conceive then in which today it is our Christmas. If we followed the celebration of the birth the Eastern way, where the date of birth is the date of the conception, we return to have December like the date of Christmas. What nowadays almost it agrees with the date of Hanukkah.

The magical kings, or wise people of East, came to Bethlehem, to adore the Gentleman. Another symbol of the greatness of the Mesías, recognized everywhere of the Earth by which they look for God and Its signals. They followed Its star. This star agrees with the dates in which several events of cosmic character took place, since several astronomical observatories have informed, among them the one of the NASA.

The celebration of the harvest with Trompetas and Expiación before Tabernacles, to which all man had to go to the temple, that year would agree with the period of the empadronamiento of edicto of Rome, and that edicto would not request winter in the heat of, with the full ways of mud, rain, storms and some times snow. Rome used to take advantage of the congregations the celebrations for the collections of taxes and decree imposition. These two events would make that as much Jerusalem as Bethlehem, to only 8km, was overflowed in occupation, cause by which, as the Scripture says, there was no place in the Inn for Jose and his pregnant wife. But there is another less well-known cause by which, as we see, it causes that not only they, but many, were outside their houses living in a cabin or tabernacle, call stable or sukkot.

Spiritually, Tabernacles would be also the circumstance that would cause that the Mesías was born outside a house, which becomes when Sukkot is celebrated, the celebration of the Tabernacles. In addition the name that receives the stable in Hebrew is sukkah, that is also used for stable and tabernacle, for that reason the celebration is called Sukkot, tabernacle. Juan 1:14 teaches on the celebration of the Tabernacles comparing the birth to us of the Mesías like human, taking a temporary body like ours, to do one new and eternal one to us in the sky, after His redeeming work, giving it to us in the resurrection: … And the Gentleman became meat and “he fixed tabernacle� between us… Normally in our Bibles he appears… and “he lived� between us… who are also literally correct, but this form of the verb in “the skene/os� Text of the word, talks about to live in tabernacles, and thus it consists in the Greek Text, that can verify the reader in any New Greek Testament, corresponding with the spiritual meaning of the celebrations of the Gentleman. Our body is the temporary tabernacle of the soul. psalm 133 remembers the spirit of the celebration of the Tabernacles, effective in the congregation of those that they always love the Gentleman today and.

Jose would have relatives in Bethlehem. When traveling the empadronamiento and to agree there with the celebration of the harvest, would be in right Bethlehem before the Trompetas and perhaps with the once rich intention to raise Jerusalem in Bethlehem. Maria had to put itself of childbirth in these days, which prevented that they went to the temple and thus Jesus would be born in Bethlehem, according to the prophecy.

Jesus was born to fulfill the announcement, the Trompeta of the Salvation, Purification and to show to us that he makes Tabernacle with us, that lives in the middle of us like Salvador. The meaning of the three together celebrations. This seventh month of the religious calendar is Tishrei. In him, the extreme priest has to enter the Place Santo with white clothes instead of his real clothes of extreme priest. A symbol from which Jesus takes off His Divine clothes to take the humanity clothes, and a symbol of which the extreme priest has itself to clear his estatus before the presence of the Gentleman. Jesus is the Extreme eternal Priest according to the order of Melquisedec, Genesis 14:17. Psalm 110. Melquisedec, without father, mother, genealogy; that nor it has principle of days, nor end of life, but made the Son similar of God, remains priest for always. Hebrew 7:3.

If the Gentleman were born in Tabernacles, the first day of the celebration, that lasts 7 days, to the eighth day he would be circuncidado. But it is that day in which would be circuncidado is the day in which rejoicing in the Law of God is celebrated, the Torá, which any Jew recognizes like the celebration to be within the pact with God, and the Mesías would enter the pact in Its circuncisión the eighth day, the great day of the celebration. Our bodies are also the tabernacle where Christ is born when we received to Him like Salvador.

The Gentleman is born in a tabernacle, that is symbol of our body, outside his celestial kingdom. As the same Word says to us, and as the same Jesus called to his body in reference of being risen in three days if he were destroyed. This is the reference to the crucifixion, that the religious leaders interpreted by the temple of Herodes.

^33Y spoke Yahweh to Moisés, saying: ^ 34Habla to the children of Israel and deals: To the fifteen days of this month seventh it will be the solemn celebration of the tabernacles to Yahweh by seven days. ^35El first day will be santa convocation; no work of servants you will do. ^36Siete days you will offer ignited offering to Yahweh; the eighth day you will have santa convocation, and you will offer ignited offering to Yahweh; it is celebration, no work of servants you will do. Levítico 23.

This third festival of the year is divided in three events. The day 1 Rosh Hashanah that is the celebration of the Trompetas. The day 10 Yom Kippur that is the day of Purification. Day 15 the Shabbat, first day of the celebration of seven days of Tabernacles. To the eighth it is another special Shabbat of the pact of the Law. 40 days later would go to the Temple upon presentment of the boy, according to the Law, agreeing again with another celebration, Hanukkah, the celebration of the lights in the commemoration of the temple. They were bringing to the Temple to which it was the light of the world that was Christ and who came to the Temple, to illuminate it, indeed what they did in the celebrations.

If the Gentleman were born in Trompetas, Purification or Tabernacles, it is to the reader so that he studies the historical Bible and other sources or another nature and who prays to the Gentleman. What yes it is clear is that the Gentleman in His history and Its assignment, directly is related to the spiritual meaning of the Celebrations of the Gentleman and will also come in one from these celebrations.

All these things would happen if Jesus had been born in the time of the Celebration of the Trompetas and Tabernáculos. They are many coincidences, too many would say I so that the date was this, instead of in winter. Of course the data that we have seen seem not to leave place to doubts. But the important thing is the work of Christ again not it celebration of Its birth. The reader does not think who at some time my intention is the one to annul the celebration of the birth of our Gentleman, not even to stop celebrating it in Christmas, but the Biblical data are our bread, and the spiritual meaning cannot be hidden by the tradition of men.

We will finish this section with one of the experiences with the Gentleman in the Gospel. When Jesus Christ was fulfilling His ministry, he went to the celebration of the tabernacles, the one of the Jews, and in her, in the last and great day, the eighth, the one of the pact of the Law, he was put still on and he raised the voice, saying: If some is thirsty, comes and drinks. The one that believes in me, as the Scripture says, of its interior will run alive water rivers. This said of the Spirit that was to receive those that believed in Him; then not yet the Spirit had come Santo, because Jesus still had not been glorified. Juan 7:37.

 

CHRISTMAS IN THE WEST TODAY

Although we celebrated Christmas, Jesus never asked to us that Its birth was celebrated, but Its death, nor Church celebrated the primitive it. More ahead, after centuries at the time of Constantino due to its conversion to the Christianity, one became the religious celebration of the winter in all the empire. With the Protestant reform also it would be celebrated, but the first protestant churches of it cuts puritano got to prohibit considering it an abomination to mix itself with the celebrations of the paganism, until the arrival to the United States, where it would return to take root. Today it is celebrated anywhere in the world, and also it is mixed with the paganidad, besides the consumption.

In the Christian Christmas decoration, the frequent options but are the tree and the Bethlehem next to lights in the houses and decorations of Noel Pope. If we fall in the protestant puritanismo of the first centuries, that many today also register, the Bethlehem will be described as an external sign of the contaminated church spiritually, and a way to show that we are Christian, resorting to the images “you will not become image� 2º order. It is used normally to present/display to our children the history to him of Christmas, since they make all the cultures, with stories, films etc. If they observe, is very peculiar like many Christians who condemn the Bethlehem, for being images, soon offer to their children infantile Bibles with images and they themselves see films “of the Gentleman� that also are it. In fact to our children it would be necessary to tell them to the birth of Jesus every week of his lives and not to use the comfortable way of the material Bethlehem, instead of the spiritual Bethlehem: our souls. Each knows in brings back to consciousness if it idolizes or nonimages in a Bethlehem.

There the Bethlehem begins its history of the hand of San Francisco de Asís by century XIII. Francisco used a manger with straw for the altar of the misa, where he offered symbolically to the boy like the bread. The boy Jesus, Maria and Jose, accompanied by the ass and the ox who come from the reference to Isaiah 1:3. In addition usually they add angels, a star of Bethlehem, the magicians in camels, shepherds and ewes, and an endless ones of decorative details. The scene that describes Lucas to us 2. The other belenes, very effective for the preaching, are the representations with people acting.

I have seen belenes in evangelical churches, there are since them in house of protestants, but the neon pentecostales does not use it, like either the witnesses of Jehovah who do not celebrate Christmas, according to the puritana tradition of century XVIII. Who argues that not Bethlehem puts with base in 2º Order, surely that will keep 4º, day of Shabbat, not will adulterate (in the sense of not to have watched another woman, either man, and it to have coveted in their heart as I teach the Teacher), never will covet nothing of their fellow, nor will stop fulfilling no of the 10 Orders.

The magical kings are another history that has happened of the Bible in Mateo 2, to a celebration to give gifts them to the children in memory of the visit of the magicians to Jesus when he was born. It is an effective way to cause that the small ones are approached the history of Jesus, clearly, if the parents tell it. If they explain to them that they are giving to gifts like the boy them Jesus and who is by Him receives who them. To how many they threatened to us without gifts if we behaved bad of small, and this it is the problem, that the boy or the girl conceives that by his merits they secure gifts, when is by the coming of Christ who puts itself to them in proximity with the Son of God so that they know Him, so that the Gospel is known by them from small. To know the Gospel from small is a blessing for the rest of its lives.

The Christmas tree. Christ the tree of the life. Martin Lutero, counts the history of this brother who abrió the Bible to the world being the first printed book, walked by the forest when he saw the sky and stars and thought about the magnificent thing of the firmament. Thinking about like having a memory of this in his house in winter, he cut a fir and he put candles to him in his branches. Quickly one would become a symbol of the Christian decoration, in the churches, to which he decorates himself for being symbol of the nature created by God and symbol of the tree of the center of the Edén, Christ.

In the paganism, the tree is the symbol of many cults. It was used for example when a king died and he did not have descendants, to prolong his power on the town stood a tree in his tomb and it was made believe the town that his spirit remained alive in the tree. Presents and offerings were engaged in to him, which today has become the typical decoration mixing it with Christian reasons.

Also we can see in the tree a representation of we ourself, like in the Bible, where the trees with the men compare themselves; we give or we do not bear spiritual fruits, like the trees, and we decorated type of gifts and ostentatious decorations and lights yet, like same, we occur cult with so many material things that it sells the consumer society to us, clearly, that for which can allow it.

Noel papa, Santa Claus or San Nicholas are a same personage who in fact begins with the history of a called Christian Nicholas de Bari, century III d.C that less had special devotion by the poor children and favored people. He came from a well off family. His historian tells that he helped a man whom he did not have to ajuar for his three daughters and he provided to him secretly until third when it was shortage. After their death other saints followed their example that became popular between the children. The name Noel papa is of the French who means father of Christmas, because she was a priest to whom they mixed with another kindly personage. Santa Claus is the Americanized name of the landlord of Holland that founded the New Amsterdam, today New York. The cocaine tail would give the last esthetic touch him in its powerful marketing. To this mythical histories of the personage are added who lives in the North Pole and that comes in a sleigh thrown by reindeer. As always a peculiar mixture of histories. The aim of everything, as always, is in our heart and the meaning that we to him give and what we do with all these possible excuses, that we can use to take a aid to less the most favored, and mainly the message of the Salvation. Each builds according to his brings back to consciousness.

When we left by the streets and we see the decorated trees and the Pope noeles, concerned of cultures several, giving caramels, all illuminating, and what tuna is all the pagan, with the marketing who fills the mind to us so that we covet the last ones in unnecessary gifts, when what we would have to do it is to never accept the celebration of the paganidad mixed with the birth of Christ. But we are going to look for the heart of people and to take the central message to them of Christmas: 2000 years ago a boy of a Virgin was born in Bethlehem de Judea, who was the voluntary incarnation of the eternal Son of God; and we continued with the Gospel. The Church, You and I, and all the brothers we must announce Christmas, for repercussion of Christmas in Israel and for repercussion of Christmas in the Gentile ones, those that do not know nor fear God.

to the Gentleman which matters to him in fact is our heart and in Christmas the majority is but receptive and compassionate, although less and less, with the spirit of the material instead of to love the fellow with love of God, to help to the poor men with a grant, that also is typical of Christmas, when it would have to be every month.

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas candy, it sounds the carol, the places adorned with golden little angels remember that us that God is praised by querubines, like in the Coffer of the Alliance, and it moves in the middle of the praise of His town, querubines like which was in the Jewish temple, the Temple of Salomón by order of God, 1Reyes 6, to the entrance, in the walls, the curtains and the holy places. They remember that they also exist, those beings who God created, superficially ours temporarily.

Christmas in the West on the part of the Christians we celebrated who it characterizes by a spirit of familiar unit, of aid to the needed ones, mixed with a consumption that we can control if we propose it to us. Familiar dinners, the turkey or other customs, the gifts, but unique the important thing is if when we celebrated Christmas, deserts all together ones and we spoke to us of Jesus, His work, of Lucas 2, if we before spent days with our children to read the history of the Bible. If we visited which they do not have, and not only in Christmas. If we preached the Gospel to the neighbors, and really that we imitate the behavior of Jesus de Nazaret who was born in Bethlehem and that will come again to establish Its eternal Kingdom, to which we are invited by Him. This if that is the major regalazo that can be received. That it blesses them to God in Christmas.

 

 

THE JEWISH CELEBRATION OF JANUCA, HANUKKAH AND THEIR ENTAILMENT WITH THE MESÃ?AS

 

I have wanted to add a mention to this Jewish celebration by its symbolism. Its history begins in century II a.C when the Macabeos returns to Israel after fighting against the helenista imposition of Great Alexander in their governor Antíoco IV Epífanes, who prohibited his religion them, and finds one menora of six arms with only a little oil, according to tell us, for a single day in the temple, that was profaned. Miraculously and until they could contribute more oil, the unique lamp of the candelabrum remained ignited during eight days.

Menora of nine arms was created to be those eight days ignited one of the arms. Every day of the celebration with the central candle ignites a candle. In addition it is celebrated in the ninth month of the Jewish year. It is by this history of menora that the celebration is called of the lights.

The Mesías is the world light, that in addition is celebrated in Christmas in a date that many years agrees with Januca. It is celebrated the 25 of Kislev. In addition this is the date in which Israel commemorates the re-dedication of the temple and agrees with the day in which the foundation of the temple was put and in its reconstruction. Christ, who would be conceived that day, is the fundamental stone that the edificadores rejected, which has come to be head of the angle. Therefore the celebration of Januca directly is related to the Mesías of Israel and all the nations.

And this year will decorate its soul with the things of the world or the things of God? Blessed the one that comes in the name of the Gentleman. Baruj Bean BeShem Adonai.

 

FROM BETHLEHEM TO SION. JESUS CHRIST FULFILLS THE PROPHECIES OF HIS BIRTH AND COMING IN HIS KINGDOM

When Herodes was disturbed, when hearing that being it, king in Judea, the wise people of East announced their visit to him because they came to adore the king of the Jews who finished being born, having followed his star; it asked the main priests and you write to them, where there was to be born the Christ. They said to him: In Bethlehem de Judea; because thus it is written by the prophet: … And you, Bethlehem, of the Earth of Judá, are not smallest between the princes of Judá; Because you a guide will leave, who will feed Israel town… This is the narration that contributes Mateo to us 2, that mainly writes its gospel focused to the Jews with emphasis in the fulfillment of the messianic prophecies, guided by the Spirit.

Within the many prophecies on Jesus Christ they are possible to emphasize the narrated ones in the Gospel according to San Mateo:

… I have here, a virgin will conceive and give to light a son, and you will call her Emmanuel name. Mateo 1:23 of Isaiah 7:14.

… And you, Bethlehem, of the Earth of Judá, are not smallest between the princes of Judá; Because you a guide will leave, who will feed Israel town. Mateo 2:6 of Miqueas 5:2.

… Voice was heard in Branch, great lamentation, I cry and moaned; Raquel that cries to its children, and did not want to be consoled, because they perished. Mateo 2:18 of Jeremías 31:15 on the slaughter of the young martyrs of Jesus.

… Arrepentíos, because the Kingdom of Skies has approached… … Voice that cries out in the desert: You prepare the way of the Gentleman, you straighten its footpaths. Mateo 3:2 and 3:3 of Daniel 2:44 and Isaiah 40:3.

Turning the eight days to circuncidar to the boy, they put to him by Jesus name, that is Yahshua. Yah is the root of the name of God, and Shua, is the salvation of Yah. Alelu-Yah. Emanuel was then Jesus Christ who came to the world; The Salvation of God between us, since it had indicated the angel of the Gentleman: Yah-Shua, Son of, coming from Yah-Weh.

And when the days of the purification of them were marked, according to the Law of Moisés, that is to say, forty days later, they raised from Bethlehem the temple, also to present/display the first-born boy. In the temple they are Simeón that waited for the consolation of Israel, and the Spirit Santo was envelope he. And the Spirit Santo was developing to him that would not die without seeing the Anointed one of the Gentleman. Also she was Ana, prophetess who spoke of the boy to whom they waited for the .redemption of Jerusalem. Bethlehem is closely together of Jerusalem, to 8Km, which would allow to go to the temple and to come in the day.

Another prophetic data in relation to Bethlehem, Efrata, is the prophecy of Jeremías when talking about to Raquel, buried there, Genesis 35:19… Voice was heard in Branch, great lamentation, I cry and moaned; Raquel that cries to its children, and does not want to be consoled, because they perished. Mateo 2:18. Once fulfilled the persecution of Herodes, giving death to the smaller children of 2 years in Bethlehem.

The following S-event that the angel warned Jose again so that they went to Egypt to avoid the persecution of Herodes, until his death. The angel, being they in Egypt, would again return to instruct to Jose so that they returned, without happening through Jerusalem but they would return to its place of residence, Galilea, to Nazaret, because the prophecy says that the Mesías would be called Nazarene. The trip to Osseous Egypt fulfills another prophecy in 11:1.

This it is the prophetic trip of the boy Jesus. They left from Nazaret to Bethlehem, they went to the temple in Jerusalem, soon to Egypt, and returned to Nazaret. The prophetic trip of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Mesías. Everything was written in the Bible, the prophetic Word of God. But there is more.

This trip is a parabola of the life that a disciple of Christ will undergo: It will leave his present life, Nazaret. In her it will receive the preaching of the Gospel, will be called by God and it will conceive in his soul to Christ. It will travel to Bethlehem where it will be born again from the Spirit in his soul. Of he will be circuncidado in his heart to the being, this one, changed there because era of stone by another one of meat, in mercy and mercy, love of God. the trip of Christ has been purified there during 40 days as and like the one of Israel by the desert during 40 years. During this time one is attemped to leave the faith by the devil. When we win we come to the temple to be presented/displayed God, we commit ourselves to live with Him. It is then when our life enters death danger, we must flee to Egypt to avoid that it does not reign in us imposed king but true Rey who finishes being born in us. This situation finalizes and we return to our city of origin, where we will give testimony of Him in our surroundings of life. This it is another prophetic fulfillment, but in our souls, that each that receives the Gentleman changes in its interior. Of this it gives to testimony any true Christian during history.

The fulfillment of the prophecy of the coming of Christ being born in Bethlehem, has been clear in history, according to the announced thing in the Bible. It is the fulfillment of the first coming of Christ, the Mesías, El Salvador of the humanity, to fulfill the work de la Cruz in the Calvary and to pay by the sin of each of us, giving us by the faith in His work, entrance to the Eternal Paradise of God, after the resurrection. This is the first part, already fulfilled, of the coming of the Mesías, as also it would be it another part like the Mesías Sufriente de Isaiah 52 and 53, in the Passion of Christ soon to revive and to ascend to the right hand of the Father. And we have left to wait for Their coming in Their Kingdom, which evidently will be fulfilled also in agreement with the prophecies of the Bible.

If this prophecy has been fulfilled by the Son of God, with total precision, being a baby, as well as the others; around 300 that is envelope He, of which it can read a selection of 70 prophecies of Christ in this Web, How will not be fulfilled also the prophecy on the second coming of Jesus Christ to establish Its Kingdom when it comes in Sion?

Sion, the given name to one of mounts of Jerusalem, but also is it to other places of the surroundings of Jerusalem and to the same city. Therefore the prophecy of the coming of the Gentleman to Sion, like all the others, will be fulfilled. Apart from which one is fulfilled, and considering that the Gentleman has fulfilled the great events in indicated dates of His Law and solemn festivals, he is possible to think that also he will return in a celebration of Israel. Not reader thinks that I go to propose neither day neither hour, because the Gentleman either warned to us more that he knows it to nobody, than the Father. For that reason the unique thing that yes wanted to obtain is that each studies the Celebrations of the Gentleman because there is a data that shows to us that when the Gentleman comes he touches the trompeta. This one, can well be a reference to the celebration of the Trompetas that is first of the three celebrations of the seventh month, followed of Purification and Tabernacles. These two already are fulfilled, only lacks the trompeta. This is the celebration of the harvest, when it comes the Gentleman to gather mies, Levítico 23:22 - 25, 1Corintios 15:52, 1Tesalonicenses 4:16 and Apocalypse 14:1.

 

The TIME OF the MESÃ?AS IN the Prophecy of Daniel

BIBLICAL TEXT

DANIEL: CHAPTER 9

Later with the crowd of the abominations the devastating one will come, until the consumation comes, and what is certain it spills on the devastating one.

 

 

PICTURE OF THE REPERCUSSION OF THE BIRTH DE JESUS CHRIST IN OUR LIVES

 

 

 

CONCLUSION

Christmas gives to beginning to the work of salvation of God through Its Son Jesus Christ. Christmas is a call so that the Church in its totality, and each member in particular, especially, although also every day of the year, we take the message of good the new ones of great joy, as the angel said, of the birth of the Son of God and Its work of eternal salvation. The following Biblical Texts summarize the work of God and its repercussion in us, who there are to announce to our fellow so that also they can, by the faith, to have entrance by the Door that gives access to the Kingdom of God. … I Am the door… Jesus de Nazaret, born in Bethlehem.

… I have come so that they have life, and they have so that it in abundance… Juan 10:10.

… I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, to give testimony to the truth. All that one that is of the truth, hears my voice… Juan 18:37. You will hear Its voice today?

With these words of Jesus the Spirit approaches Santo the truth that announces the Gentleman to us; that the man does not have life in itself, spiritual and eternal life, and needs that God blesses to him with her. This is the reason that the humanity is in the present situation.

Jesus Christ came to the Earth because… Of such way he loved God the world, that has given to its unigénito son so that all that one that in him creates, has eternal life but he is not lost… Juan 3:16.

So that the one that believes in the work of the Son of God and lives in harmony, has entrance in the Paradise, the Kingdom of God, for which, and by the faith we are transformed: … But to that they received to him, to that they create in its name, gave the power them of being made children of God… Juan 1:12.

A son of God becomes by the faith, must be born with a new heart that gives God, doing to us new creatures, as Jesus Christ confirms to us: … Of certain, of certain I say to you, that the one that will not be born again, cannot see the kingdom of God. Juan 3:3.

… Because by grace you are safe by means of the faith; and this not of you, because it is gift of God; not by works, so that nobody gloríe. Because we are form hers, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we walked in them. Letter of Pablo to the Efesios 2:8.

Jesus said to them: I am I walk and the Truth and the Life; nobody comes to the Father but by me. If you love to me, you keep my orders. And I will request the Father, and she will give another Consolador you, so that she is with you for always: the Spirit really, to who the world cannot receive, because it does not see him, nor knows him; but you know him, because she dwells with you, and will be in you. I will not leave orphans you; I will come. But the Consolador, the Spirit Santo, to whom my Father will send in my name, He will teach all the things to you, and everything will remember to you what I have said to you. Juan 14.

… There is a single God, and a single mediator between God and the men, Jesus Christ man, who occurred to itself in rescue by all. 1ª Letter of Pablo to Timoteo 2:5.

The resurrection comes. … I have comes here with clouds and all eye will see Him, and those that they transferred to Him. Apocalypse 1:7.

Yahshua, Jesus Christ, already existed before the creation because He was who I create the Universe and the sky, the eternal region. The man exists in the mind of God from before the creation, each of us in particular, because he loves us to God all. It is Christmas, God he loves, he abra his heart to him so that the Son of God is born in You. This it is the best gift… Every day is Christmas. Merry Christmas to all in the name del that was born to die by us: Emanuel - Jesus Christ - Yahshua. It is “Christmas� in his soul? Alelu-Yah!
